Product Information
Friends Is Friends tells the story of complicated friendships through a series of funny, bittersweet vignettes. Greg Cook's deceptively sweet storybook world is imbued with grown-up humor that is both dark and whimsical. The result is a fable for adults, where the only clear moral is this: friendship isn't easy, whether you're a hobo or a snowman or a ghost. Friends Is Friends is indie-favorite Greg Cook's first major work in over a decade. This long-awaited tragicomedy is a great stand-alone work for both new and established graphic novel readers.Product Identifiers

Reviews"Despite the darker tone of the text, there is an elegant beauty here. Cook's precise, economical drawings are frequently distilled to an emotional essence that is recognizable and frequently unsettling, from the cruelty of playground alliances to the unforgivable betrayals of adulthood." -- Booklist, Catch as Catch Can :"While the book evokes many pleasures of youth (Richard Scarry's picture books and the tale of Pinocchio, among them), Cook creates a grown-up fantasy world where every pleasure has its price, and just beyond sweetness lies vice." - Publishers Weekly
